Otterbox has been on my phone for the last 3 years. While I don't tend to drop it often, when I do, the case seems to do it's job well. I'd recommend them. They can be bulky, but that's not a problem to me.

The Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 is 1/3 inch wider than the HD, so I don't imagine that they would work in the same case, which is a shame, as I'd LOVE to pay only $30 for an HDX case. But then again, that's probably why they are on Woot for discount, the HDX is likely outselling all the other models at full retail...

... drums fingers and tries SO VERY HARD not to buy a second HDX since his wife stole his.

I keep my iPad in an Otterbox, and the case has paid for itself several times over. You simply don't need to worry about dropping your device if it's inside one of these. It's a MUCH better deal than buying the Applecare damage coverage (and even more so at this price).

Are these super-bulky like the iPhone OtterBox cases? I had to buy a Lifeproof case for my iPhone because the OtterBox case was 17" thick or something and wouldn't fit in my pockets of my jeans. Not that I'm going to try to stick my Kindle Fire in my jeans, I just wondered how humongous it is and how it handles when you try to read. Currently my Kindle Fire has no case or cover...but I'm still covered under my Square Trade warranty for another year. heh

My dad was given an iPad in an OtterBox Defender case for work. It's certainly not thin and light, but the iPad has managed to survive my dad's job in construction and his general abuse of electronic gadgets.

The cut-out for the Apple logo seems unnecessary. I mean, wouldn't lint and grime just collect in there? What if you drop it and the logo hits a corner of a table or something...too bad that part wasn't protected.

So you checked the numbers with otterbox and they said they never issued those or did you just compare to another one? UPC will vary by model/color etc. Numbers on the inside might just be a batch number from the manufacturing plant which would change based on when it was made.
Edit: did you report it here? http://www.otterbox.com/fakes? If so, did they respond?

The Reflex case sucks - there is a major design flaw - where the tab from the flexible cover snaps to lock in reading position, there is only about a 1/4" of plastic to hold it in, and the fit is SO snug, you can't switch it from cover to reading mode more than a few times without that little bit breaking, rendering it useless as a stand. My wife and I each had one and they both failed in the same spot at about the same time. I made Otterbox replace them with Defenders. They didn't put up too much of a fight about it, and seeing them here on Woot, I have a feeling they know they have a lemon on their hands with that

The fact that you had to check numbers and couldn't tell the moment you touched it pretty confirms it was real. The amount of money somebody would have to spend to set up manufacturing of all of those plastic and silicone parts would never be worth it to sell these things to Woot at a price where Woot could resell the phone cases at $8 or these tablet cases at $30.

I doubt it. If it were to fit the HDX, it would (or should) be specified.
When I saw this here on Woot today, I was finally happy to see something I've been looking for. Then reality set in, no HDX listed. I already have an Otterbox Defender for my 8.9" HDX and it's a great case. My only complaint is that it's boring black. The case offers good protection, and the clear screen protector doesn't affect the touch screen sensitivity. One of these days, it'll show up here. Hopefully.

Sorry, I am confused. I have a Kindle Fire HD 7 inch. I don't know if I have a 1st gen or 2nd gen. I bought it May 2013. How can I tell? I want the Green case. It looks like the 'holes' are all in the right places. Are the Green cases 1st gen or 2nd gen cases?
thanks!!
